Returning if I may to the effects, Commissioner, of the G4S ineptitude on the boroughs. I am pleased to hear your professional judgment that you expect perhaps no further draw or demand upon those resources, but clearly that remains to be seen as it plays out. However, I respect your opinion on that. Something that worries many residents is around the pressure on the Safer Neighbourhood Teams (SNT). The Mayor has given a commitment that the Safer Neighbourhood Teams will be staffed during this period. But remember they are starting from quite a low base at the moment, already the...

When the last Government decided to set up LOCOG as a private company rather than a public agency, it was sold as a way of speeding up their procurement. After extensive questioning from all sides of this Assembly, it now appears that the motive may have been to escape the sort of standards of transparency that one would have expected from public bodies. Can you tell me, have you ever expressed dissatisfaction with the timing or quality of the information coming from LOCOG?

Richard Tracey (AM): I am grateful, Chair. Commissioner, this matter of PCSOs is really exercising the public of London. Obviously you have a lot more to do, but unfortunately there is a lot of misleading information out there and it is very good that you have, this morning, spelt out some of the reality. First of all you talked about the recruitment of new warranted officers from PCSOs which depleted the warranted officers but the main contact that the public seemed to have with the police, from the feedback I get, is when your fairly junior officers go out to...

The Draft Municipal Waste Strategy sets out a desire to create a single waste disposal authority for London. Bearing in mind many boroughs are already engaged in long-term waste contracts, how do you intend to create this single authority and how will it work? .

I know Mr Duffy is keen to interfere all he can in boroughs. Some of us can't keep him out of our boroughs. Whether or not a borough has wheelie bins I would say is a matter for the borough council, and not for anybody else. Would he accept a scheme that we're about to introduce in Barnet, which is where in the past the Labour administration, if somebody phoned up for a second bin on the grounds that they needed one, just delivered it, our administration tends to send a waste minimisation officer round for advice on why they...

John - both you and Nicky, as the Mayor's Waste Advisor, have told us at the Environment Committee, that the use of wheeled bins by boroughs actually reduces the amount of recycling. Now, from the borough's point of view, wheeled bins are useful because it reduces their cost of collection, and from the householder's point of view, they're convenient. So, are you actually planning, as a part of your approach to waste, to be reducing wheeled bins in London, or are you going to accept them as a reality?

• Question by: Roger Evans
• Meeting date: 13 November 2002

You say you would hesitate if a new wheeled bin scheme was proposed. What form of activity would that hesitation take?

• Question by: Roger Evans
• Meeting date: 13 November 2002

Well, either you think that wheeled bins are a bad thing and you're going to do something about it, or you're going to use them in a positive way, to help to improve people's recycling rates. I can think of several ways that you might actually modify a bin scheme to do that.

Can you envisage yourself turning down a contract because of the size of wheeled bins?
